Booked Catalina to stay in for 2 weeks. I was going to live in Oslo and needed a place to stay before I got my own appartment. I had travelled the months previous and was really looking forward to my stay there. Judging the pictures a nice and cosy appartment was waiting for me. But what was actually waiting for... More

The Catalina is a three story building situated in a quiet side street, near the Entrance to the Vigeland sculpture park. One can walk to the city centre in a few minutes. I found the apartment in relatively good shape, clean and very spacious compared to a hotel room. Not being a hotel, you don't get room service, and there... More

I understand hotels and apartments all have their own respective cancellation charge policies... More

They never offered to compensate us, or help us in 2 days to find another room. Horrible customer service. One can expect this from a hotel... More
